16O Lord, by these things men live, and wholly therein is the life of my spirit: wherefore recover thou me, and make me to live.


In Context

13 I quieted myself until morning; as a lion, so he breaketh all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

14 Like a swallow or a crane, so did I chatter; I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward; O LORD, I am oppressed, be thou my surety.

15 What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.

16 O Lord, by these things men live, and wholly therein is the life of my spirit: wherefore recover thou me, and make me to live.

17 Behold, it was for my peace that I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.

18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
